Answers:

  • first box =  0.84x
  • second box = 84

=================================================

Explanation:

Think of x - 0.2x as 1x-0.2x. The numbers out front, the 1 and -0.2, combine to 0.8

The 0.8 converts to 80%, meaning that if there's a 20% off sale, then you still have to pay the remaining 80% of the original price.

The 1.05 indicates that we started with 100%, and then add on 5% sales tax, so 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

---------------

Simplifying the expression given to us leads to

1.05(x - 0.2x)

1.05(1x - 0.2x)

1.05(0.8x)

(1.05*0.8)x

0.84x

This shows that the final price, after tax, is 84% of the original price.

Answer:

0.84 and 84

Step-by-step explanation:

1.05 (x -0.2x) = 1.05 (1-0.2)x = 1.05 * 0.8 x= 0.84x

84% of the original price of item

Tienes un triángulo equilátero con lados de 10cm, lo divides en dos partes de manera horizontal tal que el área de ambos figuras
Tanya [424]

Answer:

x = 10/√2 ≈ 7.07

Step-by-step explanation:

Comenzaremos por dividir el triángulo en dos partes y definir H, como en la figura adjunta.

Aplicando el teorema de Tales, sabemos que:

\dfrac{l/2}{H}=\dfrac{x/2}{h}\\\\\\\dfrac{l}{H}=\dfrac{x}{h}

También sabemos que, dado que el tirángulo menor es la mitad que el triángulo mayor, la relación entre áreas es:

\dfrac{A}{A_x}=\dfrac{lH/2}{xh/2}=\dfrac{lH}{xh}=2

Dado que formamos dos triángulos rectángulos, podemos despejar el valor de H como:

(l/2)^2+H^2=l^2\\\\H^2=l^2-(l/2)^2=10^2-5^2=100-25=75\\\\H^2=\sqrt{75}

Podemos entonces despejar x de la siguiente manera:

h=\dfrac{H}{l}\cdot x=\dfrac{lH}{2x}\\\\\\2x^2\dfrac{H}{l}=lH\\\\\\2x^2=l^2\\\\\\x=\dfrac{l}{\sqrt{2}}=\dfrac{10}{\sqrt{2}}\approx7.07

Please help with areas
Softa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7) The formula for determining the area of a parallelogram is expressed as

Area = base × height.

Length of base = Area/height

Therefore,

Length of base = 7/2 = 3.5 feet

8) The formula for determining the area of a trapezoid is expressed as

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Where

a and b are the length of the bases

h is the height. Therefore

21 = 1/2(2 + 4)h

21 = 3h

h = 21/3 = 7 inches

9) Area = base × height.

Height = Area/Length of base

Height = 28/14 = 2 inches

10) a and b are 10 inches each.

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Therefore,

35 = 1/2(10 + 10)h

35 = 10h

h = 35/10

h = 3 inches

Need help plz very much
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that when we are dividing two exponents with the same base (here, it's 13), we can subtract the values of the powers:

\frac{a^m}{a^n} =a^{m-n}

So, here, we have \frac{13^{10}}{13^7} , so we subtract 7 from 10:

\frac{13^{10}}{13^7}=13^{10-7}=13^3

Thus, 3 should go in the box.
